As a movie enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the magical world of Middle-Earth, I can confidently say that the news about Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum being not one, but two movies is nothing short of exhilarating. With Andy Serkis at the helm and Ian McKellen potentially reprising his iconic role as Gandalf, this new chapter promises to be a mesmerizing journey that will keep us on the edge of our seats.
Earlier this year, it was announced that we’ll be going back to Middle-Earth with “Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum,” a new adventure directed by Andy Serkis. While details about the movie’s storyline are scarce, Ian McKellen recently shared an intriguing tidbit that hadn’t been mentioned when Warner Bros. first made the announcement, offering a glimpse into the franchise’s future.
On ITV1’s This Morning show, McKellen (the actor who has played Gandalf in all the franchise films so far) was questioned if “The Hunt for Gollum” would be a single film. To everyone’s surprise, he hinted that the next Lord of the Rings project will not just be one movie, but two! Trying to downplay the information, he suggested he knew little about its development, but by then, the secret was already out in public.
From what I hear, there are supposedly going to be two movies involved. However, I must caution you that I can’t verify this information since I haven’t had the chance to review the script myself. I don’t have details about when or where these films will be produced.
Sir Ian McKellen’s announcement arrives shortly after hinting at a reprisal of Gandalf in “The Hunt for Gollum,” a part he last portrayed in 2014’s “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.” Fueling further anticipation, he expressed his eagerness to return to New Zealand, as he finds it hard to imagine anyone else embodying the legendary wizard. Frankly, it’s difficult for us to conceive of another actor stepping into that role too.
It appears they’ve contacted me about some upcoming movies focusing on Gollum, and Andy Serkis, who played him, will be directing. A script should arrive early next year, at which point I’ll decide if I want to return, though I certainly would like to go back to New Zealand. Plus, the thought of anyone else playing Gandalf isn’t appealing to me.
How The Hobbit Affects The Hunt for Gollum
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at Peter Jackson’s extraordinary adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit.” Unlike the epic scale of “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, “The Hobbit” was a more compact narrative, yet Jackson masterfully expanded the 310-page novel into a trilogy. Critics argue that this extension allowed him to delve deeper into Middle-Earth’s captivating world and its profound characters, rather than attempting to compress everything into a probable twelve-hour production divided across two films. This approach would have inevitably left some crucial story elements untold.
Critics criticized the trilogy, calling it a money-making scheme for Warner Bros., aiming to squeeze as much profit from the franchise as possible. Some felt that it was overly lengthy and could have been more effective as two films instead. However, Jackson initially planned to make “The Hobbit” into a duology, but later used Tolkien’s appendices to expand it into a trilogy, receiving endorsement from The Tolkien Society for his choice.
How does that fit into “The Hunt for Gollum”? At this stage, it’s difficult to say definitively because we’re not certain which aspects of Tolkien’s works will be incorporated into the story. Some theories suggest that it might occur during the gap between Gandalf leaving Bilbo at his 111th birthday party and his return to the Shire 20 years later, just as he sets Frodo on his famous journey. If so, there’s plenty of material available for two compelling films, similar to the initial plans for “The Hobbit”. However, if the story goes beyond that point, it could mark the beginning of a new saga in Middle-Earth’s history.
